Democrat businesswoman from The Dalles aims to win Oregon’s only red district

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon has just one Republican in the state’s congressional delegation.

Congressman Cliff Bentz of Ontario represents Oregon congressional District 2, one of the largest in the nation in terms of land area.

The district is mostly rural, encompassing most of eastern and southern Oregon. Bentz has represented it since 2021.

Democrat Dawn Rasmussen of The Dalles hopes to change that.

A businesswoman and professional resume writer, Rasmussen has served on the boards of the North Wasco County School District, The Dalles Farmer’s Market and The Dalles Museum.

She’s also the lead administrator for the Columbia Gorge Wildland Fire and Information page.

Rasmussen joined Eye on Northwest Politics to share why she thinks she can win in Oregon’s only red congressional district.
